Lawrence “Jazz” Jasman competes in the Steinstossen competition during the 49th annual German-American Festival in Oregon, Ohio.

The Swiss Steinstossen competition asks male and female competitors to hurl a 138- or 75-pound boulder as far as they can. The festival also features Masskrugstemmen, a competition of holding a beer-filled stein perpendicular to one’s body for as long as possible.
